Mariners vs Angels Prediction
Those who have followed me over the years know I’m never looking to back the Angels. Just a joke of a franchise. That stays true here when you consider Johnson has an 8.84 ERA and 1.71 WHIP through 19.1 innings. Through 8.1 frames on the road, Johnson has allowed 15 hits and 11 runs. Kirby has been hittable this season in his own right, but a 3.94 ERA and 1.34 WHIP are light years better than what Johnson has shown, smallish sample size or not. The Mariners need to take advantage of spots like this as they hope to get back to a .500 record. Remember, this Mariners team was a trendy World Series pick. It’s time to put it in gear. Give me the M’s and the RL for max betting value.
